Dubai Airport Flight Status: March 10, 2026

Both Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) are currently open, but airlines are operating a reduced flight schedule. Passengers are advised to only travel to the airport if they have confirmed flights.

Emirates Flights

Emirates is currently flying to 84 destinations and anticipates a return to full network operations in the coming days. Passengers should check emirat.es/flightstatus for the latest flight information.

Passengers booked on Emirates flights between February 28 and March 31 can rebook for travel through April 30 or request a refund through the Emirates website for direct bookings. Those who booked through a travel agent should contact their agent directly.

Other Airline Operations

Air Arabia has resumed a limited number of flights to and from the UAE, serving destinations in Austria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Italy, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. Passengers can find more information at airarabia.com.

Etihad Airways is offering refunds for flights through March 10 via an online form at etihad.com/en/help/refund-form. Passengers with tickets issued on or before February 28 for travel up to March 21 can rebook free of charge onto Etihad flights through May 15.

Alternative Travel Hubs

Muscat, Oman, remains the most reliable alternative travel hub. Multiple airlines are operating commercial and relief flights from Muscat, and it is being utilized by British Airways, Qatar Airways, and other carriers for passengers unable to depart from Dubai.

Future Outlook

While Emirates aims to restore its full network within days, the broader normalization of air travel in the region is expected to take longer due to ongoing airspace restrictions related to the regional conflict. There remains a possibility of further flight cancellations.
